Dickson Christmas Party
Were you a good boy or girl in 2011? The Dickson Christmas Party for 2011 again was a cracker of a night, held at The God’s Cafe at the ANU. Plenty of wine and fun was had and even Santa made an appearance to deliver some presents!
2012 Spring Pennant
Competition will start on 21st February and run through until June. Note that the grading meeting for teams is not until the 7th of February therefore teams will not be confirmed and available until after this date. Look out for further updates soon.
